There must then be another explanation why in IE 6, sometimes when I have 20 ccbill cookies, every click tracking code thereafter does not set the cookie for that site I'm visiting.

I believe the cookies are set per partner_ID, so if you visit 20 DIFFERENT ccbill-processed adult sites, then you will have 20 cookies (please let me know if I am wrong on this).

From what I can see on the signup page, the referer field is ONLY set if a cookie is on the client's system - therefore CCbill does NOT as far as I know keep records on the server-side.

Either way, this phenomenon is a source of lost sales (for affiliates) but of course makes sponsors happy. My opinion it needs to be corrected, possibly getting a cookie count and using a second server, etc...
